fostered and protected varied home

to discourage and suppress colonial
manufacturing; so the colonies were
kept permanently poor. The revOlu-

1887 Congress saw the right to levy

From the above we find that Grea
Britain, which produced nearly one
half of the entire pig-iron production
of the countries named in 1873, pro.
duced only one-third in 1886. her
chief rival being the United States.
which gained upon her in that period
so rapidly that. whereas the product
of Great Britain in 1875 was three
times that of the United States. in
1886 we had almost equaled her OUT
put.
The progress made by the United
States surpasses that made by any
other country. and the increase in pro-
ductive capacity which. is now under
way on this side of the Atlantic is far
in excess of the efforts being made In
the same line in any other part of the
world, and it seems but matter OF
brief time when the United States will
take the lead of the whole world in the
industry.
To insure this victory for our indus

fective legislation for the protection OF

QUA MON INDUSTRY.



Protectivs TsriG
The statistics of the pig-iron indus
try are significant in their illustra-
ton in the uhexampled growth Of the
industry in the United States and the
direction from which we have most to
fear in the form of unequal COM
petition. From the statistics of last
year we find that the United States
could have produced in thirty weeks
as much pig-iron as Germany did in
the whole year. In three months we
could have produced as much as
France did during the whole year; in
SIX weeks as much as Belgium or Aus
tria; in five weeks as much rs Russia,
and in four weeks as much as Sweden.
The production of Great Britain cx-
ceeded that of the United States 50
slightly that it would have taken the
latter only few months more than q
year to have made Us much rs Great
Britain did during the year. These
comparisons show most vividly the im-
portant position this country now oc-
cupies among the iron-prOducing ma
tiOns of the world.
The production Of the United States
alone in 1886 was in excess of that
of France. Germany and Austria COM
bined, and but little under that of
France. Germany. Russia and Sweden.
At the rate of progress made on this
side of the Atlantic in recent years.
America will shortly produce more
pig-iron in a given time than tho
whole Continent of Europe.
The following is the average weekly
production of these countries in 1873
| and 1856, and contains some sug-
gestive comparisons:
